Registered Student Organizations

Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) cater to a variety of student interests to include political, social, cultural, professional, leadership, and technical venues related to programs of study. Students are encouraged to enrich their educational and leadership skills through involvement in an organization at the college.

Students involved in an organization will find greater connectivity with the college, peers, and advisors, and are more likely to remain in college through graduation or completion of educational and professional goals. All students are invited to participate in RSOs on campus to complement their academic education, to gain leadership skills, and to build connections with their peers of similar interests and academic goals.
